Double handed race 4 Feb 2017

With a capzied harbour vessel(and to find out later a fatality) near the starting area.. the bridge made a quick call to make a course change just before start with a downwind start.. this was a refreshing change.. Yolo got a fair start and soon got going under kite.. Doing a peel just before Harken mark, then aroiund and off to Milneerton.. tight angle, but just holding, then rounding Milnerton and with a dying breeze the call made to immediately tack again to try and stay in the breeze.. with a few more tacks on the beat to Landfall, but the wind died away to nothing leaving most of the fleet without wind... condiitons were pleasant though... eventually the bridge decided to abandon the race.. Calling into Port Control for entry, they advised us to wait outside as the port was closed while they complete the salvage process of their vessel.. with us waiting off the breakwater for around an hour.. Abaord were: Dale and Ian.
